 **TOPIC SELECTION GUIDELINES (for a NON-TECHNICAL audience):**
 
-1.  **Broad Appeal & Curiosity:**
+1.  **Thematic Novelty & Broad Appeal:**
+    *   **PRIORITY 1: The topic MUST explore a technology area, angle, or theme that is significantly different from the 'EXISTING BLOG POST TITLES'. For example, if recent topics heavily featured 'old gadgets' or 'AI vulnerabilities', actively seek a different theme.**
     *   Choose a topic that answers a question an average person might have, explains a common tech interaction, or reveals a surprising aspect of how tech impacts daily life, work, or society.
     *   Think: "What would make someone click and read, even if they don't consider themselves 'into tech'?"
 
 2.  **Simple & Intriguing Framing:**
     *   The topic title should be catchy, use plain language, and clearly hint at the value or interest for the reader.
     *   Avoid technical jargon or overly niche concepts in the title.
-    *   *Examples of good angles:* "The Secret Tech That Powers Your Food Delivery," "Is Your Smart Speaker *Really* Listening? What You Need to Know," "Could This AI Write Your Next Email? The Future of [X]", "What Happens When Self-Driving Cars Make Mistakes?"
 
-3.  **Fresh & Distinctive (for this audience):**
-    *   The topic should feel fresh and not like something they've read a hundred times in overly technical terms.
-    *   It must not substantially overlap with the *intent* and *angle* of existing posts listed above, especially if those posts are already aimed at a general audience.
-    *   **Actively seek out diverse areas of technology. If the tech summary seems heavily weighted towards certain fields, try to find compelling general-audience angles in other less-covered tech domains if possible.**
+3.  **Fresh & Distinctive (Beyond Recent Topics):**

 4.  **Focus on "What it Means for ME/US":**
     *   Prioritize topics that clearly explain the benefits, drawbacks, interesting uses, or societal implications of a technology.

     *   Avoid deep technical dives, engineering strategies, or code-level discussions.
 
 6.  **Strategic Category Selection:**
-    *   **Review the 'BLOG CATEGORY FOCUS'. If a compelling, audience-appropriate topic aligns with an underrepresented category, prioritize it.** While audience appeal is paramount, actively try to diversify category distribution when a strong topic allows.
-    *   **If multiple strong topic ideas emerge, lean towards one that helps balance out the category counts, especially if it avoids heavily saturated categories like AI & Machine Learning or Cybersecurity, unless the angle is exceptionally novel for a general reader.**
